226-a sentence Hello all
Is the following sentence grammatically correct and widely used?
A big house is on the corner.
I always use:
There is a big house on the corner.
Or:
A big house is located on the corner.
Regards
Matilda

Re: 226-a sentence I always use the first also Matilda. The second is perfectly fine but very formal, and usually seen in writing.
